|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to June 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,072 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,072 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.0 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |

| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 85% of this area. |
| 85% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 278 growing days · about 1,010 mm · September to June |

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
What grows in Kibaha Urban with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Kibaha Urban?
Cashew, Cassava, Lime, Mandarin, Mango all rate well in Kibaha Urban — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Kibaha Urban?
In Kibaha Urban the window for Cashew runs 6 Sep 2026 to 2 May 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Kibaha Urban?
Divisi does. It reads Kibaha Urban's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.
Is this exact for my own field?
No — these are readings taken across Kibaha Urban, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
